3.3.2.3 Global Page Index Register (GPAGE)
Read: Anytime
Write: Anytime
The global page index register is used to construct a 23 bit address in the global map format. It is only used
when the CPU is executing a global instruction (GLDAA, GLDAB, GLDD, GLDS, GLDX,
GLDY,GSTAA, GSTAB, GSTD, GSTS, GSTX, GSTY) (see CPU Block Guide). The generated global
address is the result of concatenation of the CPU local address [15:0] with the GPAGE register [22:16] (see
Figure 3-7).
CAUTION
XGATE write access to this register during an CPU access which makes use
of this register could lead to unexpected results.
